SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 565,617, dated August11, 1896.

Serial No. 566,517. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH J. HALL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State ofCalifornia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inWindows; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, andexact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilledin the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates generally to windows, and particularly to animproved construction of the frame whereby the sash can be swung inward(for cleaning or other purposes) without removing the cords, stops, orpartingstrips, 850.

With this object in View the invention 0011- sists in the peculiarconstruction of the various parts and their novel combination orarrangement, all of which will be fully described, and pointed out inthe claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is asectional view of a pulley-stile of a window-frame constructed inaccordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a front view of saidpulley-stile of a windowframe, and Fig. 3 is a rear view of same.

Referring to the drawings, A indicates a window-frame,which isconstructed, as usual, with boxes or casings for the sash-weights to runin. At one side of said frame I cut into said pulley-stile apocket-piece A, cut longer than the sash, and pivot said pocket-piece Aupon hangers B, so that said pocket-piece A can swing inward into theboxing or case. This pocket-piece may be hung in various ways, but inpractice I prefer the hangers B, as shown and described. Theparting-strip O is also attached to the pocket-piece A, so that eitherthe lower or upper sash can be removed.

The pocket-piece A" is provided with any suitable locking device, but inpractice I prefer to employ a latch D, mounted upon the rear end of arock-shaft E, which has a flush ring F at its forward end for thepurpose of looking or unlocking the latch which engages the fixedcatches G G upon the inner edges of the pocket in pulley-stile.

Now in operation when it is desired to remove a sash from the frame theflush ring F is turned, unlocking the latch, and the pocketpiece A ispushed inward. This opens a pocket into which the sash can be pushed, soas to clear the parting-strips and stops upon the other side. The sashcan then be swung inside the room as desired. To replace the sash, theoperations are reversed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is-- Thecombination with a frame having a pocket-piece in its pulley-stile cutlonger than the sash, hangers pivotally mounted at one end in verticalrecesses in the frame and their other end pivotally connected with saidpocket-piece, and a locking device on the pocket-piece, said lockingdevice comprising a latch mounted upon the rear end of arookshaft, aflush ring at the forward end of said shaft and catches upon the inneredges of the pocket in the pulley-stile between the points of connectionof the hangers and extended beyond the face of the pocket and adapted toengage said latch, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
